Our values
Inclusion
We create a friendly, supportive environment where Artists feel a true sense of belonging and identity.
Through cooperative, consensus-based decision-making and collaboration with community partners, we ensure every voice is valued and inclusion extends beyond our organisation.
Mental Wellness
We operate from a holistic health philosophy that focuses on potential and ability rather than disability or illness.
Our programmes are designed to empower Artists, strengthen wellbeing, and create opportunities for personal growth in a safe and supportive space.
Creativity
We provide materials, equipment, tuition, and encouragement to empower Artists and develop their strengths.
We support creative, meaningful use of time and offer positive alternatives to full-time employment where needed, nurturing confidence and individual potential.
Treaty of Waitangi
We promote the spirit of equity and uphold the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi in all aspects of our work.
We are committed to honouring partnership, participation, and protection, ensuring fairness, respect, and shared responsibility guide our actions and relationships.
